Thanks to the incredible support from our community at Rocky Water Brew Fest , we’re proud to share how those proceeds are being put to work. Every ticket, sponsor, and volunteer effort translates directly into meaningful impact—supporting organizations that are changing lives locally and beyond.

We welcomed Gina and John from the City of Melbourne Parks & Recreation Department, whom we proudly sponsor through the Adopt-A-Park program. Following their visit, we held a park cleanup the very next week—great to turn support into action!

Troy Adams from AMIkids Space Coast shared how their program has evolved and thanked us for our continued support. They’re currently working on reconstructing their dorms into private rooms, an important step forward for the youth they serve.

Erin and Tom from Aging Matters spoke about the challenges they faced after funding cuts this past year, and how they’ve worked hard to bounce back. They expressed sincere gratitude for the ongoing support from our group.

LaChrista and Madison from Family Partnerships of Central Florida highlighted their work with 8,500 children and 2,500 young adults. One of their key missions is preventing child abuse—critical work that makes a lasting impact.

Christy Lynes joined us on behalf of the Drown Zero Program through the Indialantic Rotary Club. At just $500 per station, these lifesaving devices are being placed on Brevard County beaches—and they’re already saving lives regularly, with last October seeing near-daily rescues.

Mary from the Brevard County Library shared how funds support the Summer Reading Program across the county, and invited us all to attend their upcoming book release on June 6th.

Karem from New Life Mission spoke about their goal of helping women and their children get back on their feet within 1–2 years, offering a path toward stability and independence.

Zach Marchetti from the East Coast Zoological Foundation joined us to receive our commitment toward the Bowen Aquarium and shared an update on their upcoming groundbreaking.

Camila Medina from Ak’Tenemit told us about their school in Guatemala, where 1,091 students are currently receiving an education—an inspiring global impact.

Lashaundra and Jen from Neighbor Up Brevard gave us an update on The DOCK, where students are achieving incredible outcomes: rising GPAs, 0% teen pregnancy, and a 100% graduation rate right here in Eau Gallie.

Providence Place shared how local organizations are coming together to better support those experiencing homelessness. Following the closure of the Daily Bread soup kitchen in downtown Melbourne, they are working toward a more holistic and sustainable approach.

Finally, our own Mary McIntyre, President of Rolling Readers, received our support and shared a powerful message about literacy. With programs now in 64 classrooms and 12 tutors supporting local elementary schools, Rolling Readers is working to combat the alarming trend of declining literacy and its long-term impacts.

We had a quick lunch time cleanup at the Eau Gallie Square last week. We've adopted this park through The City of Melbourne's Adopt a Park Program. This park has been a big part of the Eau Gallie Rotary Club with the band shell we built decades ago, the peace pole that we put up much more recently, and we also host our annual fundraiser here each fall.

During this year's freeze we lost many shrubs and small trees which we were able to remove during this cleanup along with some litter. Thank you so much to the City of Melbourne for hosting us.

The Eau Gallie Rotary Club had another great service project last night with The Children's Hunger Project and this time, we were joined by our friends from The Palm Bay Rotary Club. Together, with the help of The children's hunger project's volunteers, the Palm Bay Rotary club, and countless donors, we were able to pack 1,280 meals to be distributed next week to the children in Brevard County who need it.

If you're interested in getting involved, checkout the Children's Hunger Project's page or website. They have a couple events coming up, and food item list for donations. https://thechildrenshungerproject.org/food-donations/

We're so grateful to be able to show up and be a part of the action. Thank you to The Children's Hunger Project for hosting us. We hope to be back again soon!

We had a great visit this Tuesday from LaShaundra McGee the executive director of Neighbor Up Brevard. We are always impressed with your updates but this time we were overjoyed to hear about the 100% graduation rate, 0% teen pregnancy rate, and a 2.7 average GPA (and rising) at the DOCK. She also shared copies of their spring newsletter that you can access by clicking this link,

A super cool visit last week from a Brevard County celebrity. John Torres works for Florida Today and many of us know him for his podcast Murder on the Space Coast. John talked to us about his investigative journalism and how he's been able to help get an innocent man release from prison, among other noble pursuits. Thank you John for your impact on the community! We're so grateful you could join us.
